“Same Burning Roof”

About the Artists.

Carlmel Bernard Belda (b. 1993) is a Filipino artist who has been an active member of the local art scene. Apart from receiving awards from local competitions, Belda has been consistently showcasing his works in various galleries around the metro through group exhibitions. Balancing with his studio practice, Belda also has had several years of art instruction experience.

Belda's works are culled from his childhood memory. Alludes to winning over an enemy be it foreign or alien, a warning not to be enslaved by money and materialism.

“Tungkol ang artwork ko sa mga bagay na kadalasan na mas una nating isinasalba sa oras ng kalamidad, una nating hinihingan ng kahilingan at pinapasalamatan sa araw-araw. Dito ay konektado kung gaano ka sagana ang ating kultura at paniniwala natin sa nasa itaas sa kabila ng anu mang pagsubok sa pang araw-araw.”

Franz "Nano" Vocalan (b. 1993) finished Bachelor of Fine Arts in University of Rizal System-Angono. He has been actively participating in group shows on several galleries in Metro Manila since 2011 and had 8 solo exhibitions.

Nano's works were noted for expressive marks and textures intensified by dripping and layering paints. Early in his career, his works were tagged as "comic surrealism" for its playful and nonsensical humor meant to "tickle the funny bone".
